I've never been sure what the big whoop about Firebug is. I greatly prefer the command Inspect Element in either Chrome or Firefox (key command cmd-opt-I or ctrl-alt-I in either browser), which will target the exact element you're looking to change - just select that element with the Controle key if you're old-school like me on the Mac and don't like to right-click, or right-click if you're a young whippersnapper who uses two buttons. (I turn the second button OFF. On the Magic Mouse, once right-click is enabled, I find I can't left-click anymore! So, old-school, one-button-only is how I roll.)

In your case, the nav elements are on line #192 of style.css, and I see that your hover style already has the black background and white type you want.

It may be that you actually want to look at some other rules in that vicinity on your style sheet - I presume you know that when you find the precise element you want to target, you want background: #000; and color: #fff; - but just in case, that's what you paste in.

Hope that helps!
